My View of Life on the Dock
Hello Astronomy Friends and Paul T. Morrrison, All my photos from after the peak of the eclipse (around 3:05) have beautiful violet or green crescents, and swirly aurora borealis-like colors in the clouds around the sun. Even a bird that flew through the scene has a rainbow light shining through its wings. I wonder why is this? Thank you if you can help.

The bird is blurry, but you can see the rainbow effect.
Roger Porter got a great shot of the Aurora Borealis last night looking north from Old Garden Beach in Rockport. All you need is a good view of the northern horizon and some sign that an Aurora might happen. Go here to the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club Web Site and click on the Ephemerides menu and click Aurora. This will give you the odds as to an aurora happening.

Will we or won’t we? The word around campus is that we may have a chance of seeing Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights, TONIGHT!
Be on the look out. It is a sight not to be missed. Fingers crossed.
And…by the way….what was up with tonight’s sunset.
Unreal….sadly, this photo doesn’t even come close to doing it justice!
Good Morning Gloucester
